@203. Some of those japanese import are very good man. You know some would nvr come to the usa. most of them and are better than most of these games that sony push out here. I own a few.. for psp. Im on 3rd or 4 psp memeory card lol..

uhhh this is kind of awkward since Dynasty Warriors Gundam 3 DLC was supposed to release today….according to the nice people at Koei andddd its not here. and they’ve kept claiming it was on the US PSN today the 19th. and i dont see it?

@211 I dont know what to say about that .. I know sometime it might come out and be up later in the night , but dontstay up waiting for it just ask them on there page to get sony about it.. Thats the best choice for any gamer right now..

I know Dw7 is already inthe store so dw gundam. but i dont know about the dlc. Sometime the store dont print here and it comes later in the night. But I dont know for sure, your best bet is to tell them on there web page(koei) to get sony psn folks about it..

i know you get both the game and dlc but i wanna know is .. can the dlc be downloaded seperately from the whole games because i think its faster downlading the dlc first one by one then get the game last

Okay. Content “volume” wise. Not such a bad week (I suppose.) The best part of this weeks store update for everyone whom may or may not be a member of the coupon book (PlayStation Plus) is the “Borderlands GoTY” bundle at a reasonable twenty ($20.00 USD) dollars without the benefit of the coupon book, and fifteen ($15.00 USD) dollars for all whom are. After that though the good news ends abruptly (pretty much.) The other exception being PlayStation Portable content The (digital release) of Final Fantasy: Tactics for a solid and reasonable ten ($10.00 USD) dollars.
However, the rest just seems marketed towards compulsive buyers and ill informed consumers. Such as the first day DLC of the brand new game “Dead Block”?! Really? First day DLC “Map Pack” and you have the gull to charge consumers for it? Ballsy indeed. Then of course the over pricing of “Limbo” a game while “refreshing” just is not worth the steepe fifteen ($15.00 USD) dollar tag for this “indy” crazed short ride. After that all that though. The rest is just pot holes and sewage sludge. No, real volume of content to speak of (honestly.) Just another weak, week of updates.

Parasite Eve2 says hello, from Europe. (lol) Sony released it I’m told a while back on the European store, but had neglected to release to them Parasite Eve. Feels a bit like the haggle from most corporations (such as GameStop, or Books-A-Million) right?

As for Persona Avatars? I would love to see Sony get some from Atlus. I hear of talk that Atlus went into a lot of effort to make Catherine avatars achievable (winnable goodies) in-game. Sixteen or so, I am told? This would make a lot of fans happy nonetheless. Persona avatars would be beast.

@198 and @199 Yes they actually are separate downloads. The game itself will download in 30 minutes tops, all together it’ll take about three hours, and for those wondering about expiration dates, there are none for the bundle.

My point about the first day DLC was that it proves how, greedy developers and publishers are. Instead of just adding it to the game already as part of the “complete” game they choose to shove it at us (the consumer) at a price of their choosing because, they know that most (the majority) will buy into it. “Enabling” their behavior and only furthering their ressolve to continue down this path.
As for the lack of coperative (co-op) gameplay? That is just a sad statement to hear. I don’t see a reason why it should not be part of the game, but then again when they are charging the consumer for first day DLC you can understand partially as to (maybe) why it is “not” part of the game. Which is sad because, in most cases “zombie” themed games sell themselves.

I tried several times last week to grab beyond good and evil as well as the BTTF discount, but due to some credit card error I wasn’t able to complete the transaction. I figured out last night I should re enter my information, but I need to wait up to two days for it to reactivate? Looks like I’m not buying BTTF at all then. I’m still not sure if it will work, but it does for apple and amazon. I’ll still grab beyond goos and evil, though.

So nothing on Dynasty Warriors Gundam 3 DLC? Even if it’s saying it’ll come out tomorrow in US like it’s supposed to for EU, even if it’s a blunder you dont want to admit to, something should be said, because KOEI’s release date says the 19th in US for PS3 AND XBOX, this is just stupid and i’ll be buying games on both consoles for xbox again, free online or not, it’s not worth it if I have to deal with next day or missing dlc launches

Borderlands bundle FTW. Game is so cash. That is seriously the best deal since the PixelJunk bundle of last year. I already had Borderlands and two of the DLC items and it was STILL a better deal than just buying the last two. (Because now I don’t have to put in my disc anymore, psshhh.)

Old World Blues? Hope it’s good, got it, loving New Vegas despite the terrible stability issues. You know you’ve got an awesome game when people will keep playing it despite freezing at least once a game.

Limbo … looks interesting, but not at that price. Sorry.

LOL @ Mortal Kombat. “Hey, let’s sell CHARACTERS! For $4.99 each! BRILLIANT!” Mortal Kombat can rot in the Pit for all I care. And Kratos is lame.

Holy moly! That is one sizeable update there Sony (that’s what she said ;) ) The Borderlands complete pack at $15 is a freaking steal and if I hadn’t already owned it all thanks to insane sales at steam, I would of purchased it. NTM my PS3’s HDD is packed as it is.

For those that don’t know about “BORDERLANDS” that is a fantastic first person shooter adventure game with a slight RPG twist and it has to be one of the “LONGEST” games i’ve played in long time. Replay value is x-tra high with the other characters you can use. Each one has there own abilties that make a new playthrough almost totaly different. “DON’T let the cell shade thing fool you this is a great looking game done right. A BIG PLUS IS ONLINE CO-OP with friends. Although whoever host a game needs a very strong network because when there is alot going down there can be some pretty bad lag till the action dwindles off. I still play this game and I’ve had it for I think a year now. You won’t be dissapointed…..10 out of 10.. IMO

While $14.99/$19.99 for Borderlands and all it’s DLC is pretty awesome, it doesn’t make sense to not have a just Add-on pack of the 4 DLC’s together too for $5.99/$9.99 for people like me who have the game and have beaten it but never got any of the DLC. I don’t wanna have to re-buy the whole games digitally just to get the map packs :\

I went to go buy the Bioshock 2 DLC bundle but it didn’t show in the store! I had previously downloaded the exclusive characters as a pre-order bonus so does that mean that I really can’t buy the other DLC together in the bundle? It would save $4 if I could. :/ A response would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

This is ridiculous for all the people that bought the crap original port of angry birds, I nor anyone who did purchase it should have to pay an extra $4 for a working version that should have been there in the first place!

Very Disapointed!!! I bought Dead Blocks, then found out there is day one dlc. I would have never supported this game. I want a complete game. I understand when there us different add-on content from retailer, to help us decide where to buy a game. But day one map packs are UNETHICAL.

The other fact is no one is getting a answer about Angry Birds. It’s a blog so you don’t just post and clock out for the day. What do you get paid for? It is always the same, no one has the answer. Ain’t it your job to say hey, I will make a call and find out. Customer Service is lacking, does your boss ever read the comments or do u have to send updates to any one? Is it sony’s policy to skip over valid questions?

The layout of the store is a tangled mess. Things like day one DLC is hidden in sub folders.
